This coconut curry soup has got it goin’ on. It’s everything you need it to be when it’s noon, and your eyes dry and sticky from staring at a screen all morning, and tummy is demanding tribute. It is hearty, warm, and loaded with flavors and spices and fresh vegetables. It is Slurp-Worthy. And did I mention that an entire pot of this magic is ready in 15 minutes, start to finish?

I ate this for lunch every day last week. And I’m about to eat it every day this week. I make the broth on Sunday and keep it in the fridge. When it’s lunch time, I throw a portion of it into a saucepan with a handful of dried vermicelli rice noodles, bring it up to a simmer, and then pour it into a bowl of fresh herbs and veggies. Presto. Happy. You can use whatever veggies you want- I like thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms, hot peppers, green onions, and a handful each of bean sprouts and cilantro. Basically, anything that’s good in pho will be good in here.
